During these ten days, Cao Jinxing had a very fulfilling life while taking a bath, strengthening his muscles and bones, and tempering his Hunyuan Qi. He also read a book and memorized words in three languages.
Finally it was time to leave the customs.
"It's a pity that it still hasn't reached the full value. I estimate that the physical strength can reach 49 points? It's just 1 point away! I can feel the barrier, but I can't reach it with Feihuchi alone..."
Cao Jinxing was a little regretful.
The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one of the people escapes.
It seems that it is not easy to achieve perfection by relying on external forces.
"Fortunately, my three most critical data are already at full value..." There is no need to waste energy to replenish it. I have reached the finish line as soon as I was born. How irritating you say!
"grown ups."
Cao Jin was feeling proud when the Taoist boy's voice came from outside the door: "Master asked me to ask you, do you want to fast in the temple at noon?"
"No."
Cao Jinxing patted Shi Shi beside him, who was finally not afraid of water, and said, "Go and follow the Taoist Master to help me bring the clothes that have been dried."
"Meow~"
Regulus raised his head and squinted his eyes.
——To touch, if not, don’t work.
Cao Jinxing reached out helplessly and touched its soft lower jaw for a long time. Seeing that it was still not moving, he rubbed it impatiently: "Go!"
"..."
Regulus jumped out of the Flying Tiger Pond with a resentful look on his face. After a few flashes, he exited the Flying Tiger Cave and followed the little Taoist priest to retrieve the dried Flying Fish Suit and [Shenyin Cloak].
Cao Jinxing looked at the cloak and his expression changed slightly.
He specifically asked Lu Jiaming to check it out.
This cloak has a lot of history.
Its main material is taken from the silk of a very rare exotic beast - [Shadowless Spider].
This spider can avoid detection by air machines and perfectly integrate with the external environment, thus achieving the effect of "stealth".
Its spider silk also has the same effect. As long as it is injected with true energy, the [Godly Hidden Cloak] can make people disappear without a trace in front of everyone!
When Lu Bing was young, he had insufficient skills and went out to practice. He relied on this treasure to save himself from danger many times. This thing has extraordinary significance to him!
"But he actually gave it to me..."
Cao Jinxing was a little unsure: "What does this mean? To bribe? To show kindness? Or do you have ulterior motives?"
or……
Is it because his son is so good at martial arts that he can’t use it?
Cao Jinxing thought for a long time, but still had no clue.
But considering that Lu Bing was loyal to Jiajing in history, and he is now considered a confidant of Jiajing, there should be no conspiracy...
"No matter, let's leave it for now. We'll talk about it when we need it." Cao Jinxing made up his mind, put on his Feiyu suit, took Fourteen with him, and left Feihu Cave.
The sun is shining brightly outside the cave, and the sky is clear.
Cao Jinxing raised his head, glanced at the sky, and murmured: "The weather is good today, just suitable for bathing in elephants. It's better to choose a better day."
Cao Jin walked out of Xuandu Temple.
Lu Jiaming and four others were already waiting outside the viewing area.
"Congratulations, sir, on your release."
The four of them saluted together.
Cao Jinxing waved his hand: "Get down to business first. Jiaming, Sun Lang, you two go to the elephant room and notify the 100 households on duty to have the elephant slaves drive the elephants to Shichahai."
"yes."
Lu Jiaming and the others quickly agreed and rushed to Xuanwu Gate where the Xiangfang was located.
"Yanzhu, You and Yunsheng went to the Huangzhuang Tianxiang Pavilion and asked to be forwarded to the Royal Horse Prison. The twelve elephants inside were driven to Shichahai together. If they want to wash their horses, they should drive them to Jishuitan. The two categories should be separated to avoid turmoil.
.”
"yes."
Gu Yanzhu and Su Yunsheng went to Tianxiang Pavilion.
Cao Jinxing went to Shichahai first to wait.
Not long after.
Elephant slaves from both places drove the elephants out of the manor one after another. Because they had to take a bath, the elephants did not wear any ornaments and walked on the streets with their ears and feet stamped, causing dust to fly everywhere.
"Washing the elephant!"
Soon, the news about the bathing elephant spread.
When the idle old and young men in the capital heard this, they rushed to Shichahai to watch.
After a while, Shichawai Wall was filled with people, and many climbed up the trees to watch. There was a sea of people, and at a glance, there were crowds of people, talking, and cheers coming and going.
"..."
Cao Jinxing stood on the hillside, striking a flying fish, keeping strangers away, and there was an open space around him.
He looked at the restless crowd below and was a little speechless: "As for that? No wonder two masters are required to take charge... If something happens, it's really easy to cause chaos."
Suddenly, Cao Jinxing noticed someone approaching.
——On the first floor of Tongyou, the true energy is very unfamiliar, but the quality is extremely high. I don’t know what sect it is. The young man has good Qinggong...
Cao Jinxing guessed who it was, turned his head and saw a silver figure floating lightly beside him.
Lu Bing’s third son, Lu Yi!
"Master Cao."
Lu Yi is in his early twenties, slightly older than Cao Jinxing, with a straight body and handsome appearance. Although not as good as Cao Jinxing, he should be above 40 points.
He is the youngest son of Lu Bing and has a distinguished status. However, he is not arrogant and domineering. Instead, his tone is gentle and makes people feel like spring breeze: "This is my first time meeting Mr. Cao. In fact, it is like this every year on the Elephant Bathing Day. People who watch the elephants
There are too many, and the Zhenfu Secretary is afraid that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble, so he has to have experts sit in charge to ensure everything is in place."
After saying that, he looked at Cao Jinxing and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Cao is extremely talented. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary. He is the top one on the list of geniuses. I really have to surrender..."
"Master Lu, thank you."
Cao Jinxing replied: "Ten days ago, I heard that Mr. Lu Yicheng had returned to Beijing and was also responsible for the elephant bathing matter. I should have paid a visit. But time was tight, and retreating and going out were rushed at the same time. I could only seize the time. I hope Mr. Lu will not be surprised.
"
"What are you talking about?"
Lu Yi said nonchalantly: "I have just taken office, I have nothing to do, and I don't know much about the relevant affairs. Of course, Mr. Cao shall prevail. You don't have to be polite."
Cao Jinxing didn't expect that Lu Yi was so easy to talk to and had no airs at all. He was very surprised.
He is also the son of a high-ranking official. Compared with him, Yan Shaoting is nothing!
The two were similar in age and had similar interests, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
The group of elephants below were also driven by the elephant slaves and went into the lake one after another, playing in the water, swaying their proboscis and spraying water from time to time, causing exclamations from the shore.
The two people on the hillside didn't take it seriously.
"I wonder where Mr. Lu practiced before?"
Cao Jinxing was a little curious.
With Lu Bing's status, Lu Yi's sect must be at the first level of the Nine Sects, but Cao Jinxing has confirmed that the true energy in his body does not belong to any of the Nine Sects!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nine Gates Master.
——Shaolin, Wudang, Shushan Sword Sect, Longhu Mountain, Five Poison Sect, Beggar Clan, Tangmen, Yaowang Valley, Qi Jian Yuefu.
Cao Jinxing has seen the true energy of these nine sects before.
The zhenqi in Lu Yi's body does not belong to any of them, but it is not worse than any of them!
"I am a disciple of Xuezong, and I practiced in Shuigu Mountain before. Have you heard of it, Master Cao?"
Lu Yi didn't hide anything, and there was no point in hiding it. As long as he made a move, his martial arts couldn't be hidden.
"Xue Zong?"
Cao Jinxing thought for a moment and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "One of the three hidden sects? Onmyoji?"
"oh?"
Lu Yi smiled unexpectedly. Looking at Cao Jinxing, he felt like a confidant and said: "Xue Zong is a small sect with a low reputation. I didn't expect Master Cao to know about it. He is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Lu Yi admires it!"
"Master Lu is too modest."
Cao Jinxing suspected that this guy was in Versailles: "If Xuezong is still a small sect, then the nine sects are almost the same."
Qi Zong, Xing Zong, Xue Zong.
They are the "Three Hidden Sects".
They are a bit like the "Ghost Valley Sect" in the Warring States Period. There are very few disciples, but every one of them, as long as they come down from the mountain, will surely stir up troubles and have unlimited potential!
Because their inheritance is all Grade 4!
And each one has a longer history than the other.
The Qi Sect was founded in the Three Kingdoms era. The founder of the sect was Pu Yuan, the number one weapons casting master in the Three Kingdoms. It is said that he was passed down by Ou Yezi.
Xingzong was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The founder of the sect was Zhang Heng, the "Wood Sage". He was famous for his astrology and was supplemented by the artifact [Armillary Sphere].
——The reason why Cao Jinxing learned about the Three Hidden Sects was to check the Pengxuan Cave Heaven and the Heavenly Book Stele. Only then did he know that the reason why Song Chengqi was seriously injured was because he went to Mount Tai to snatch the Heavenly Book Stele and was besieged and severely injured by the defenders! And now!
The leader guarding the stone tablet is none other than the Supreme Head of the Star Sect!
The last sect has a longer inheritance, and its special martial art of Yin and Yang can be traced back to the pre-Qin era.
In the world of martial arts, it is not that the older the better, after all, everything has its own progress with the times.
But now that most high-level martial arts have lost their inheritance due to changing times, being able to retain the inheritance itself has proven their strength.
The three sects in the hidden world have only a few members, but their inheritance is high and their status is transcendent, not inferior to the nine sects... Lu Yi said that Xuezong is a small sect, which is too modest.
Lu Yi was also a little surprised: "There is very little information on the three hidden sects, and very few people know about it. How did Mr. Cao..."
He was about to ask when suddenly, a loud elephant roar came from the lake below!
"Roar!!!"
One of the elephants became inexplicably restless, shook its big head, plopped out of the lake, and rushed towards the onlookers on the shore like a madman!
Those four thick elephant legs are like four drumsticks. When they run, they beat the ground and tremble like drum heads!
Immediately afterwards, the other elephants also roared and went crazy, overturning the elephant slave who was washing away the dirt for them. With their eyes blood red, they started to kill the people on the shore.
"Oh no!"
"The elephant is crazy!"
"Run!"
A sudden change!
The faces of the onlookers on the shore changed drastically.
Screams rang out repeatedly, and Shichahai, which was fine just now, suddenly turned into a mess! Crazy elephants rushed ashore, and a murderous tragedy was about to take place...
